For me, the deal-breaker was some sort of bug in pdf export.  On 
second thought, I guess what happens during pdf export is indeed a 
"crash".  Every time I try to export my document with "PDF/A-1a" 
selected, I get a message from Windows (Win 7) saying that Open Office 
has stopped working.


This is an important thing. Do we have a bug report for this? Is it 
repeatable?
It will not be fixed when it's not properly reported. Developers 
eventually read in this user group, but better let them use their time 
to fix tasks. Thus, your very welcome and important donation to the 
project would be to write a bug report, maybe with examples. Please 
check before if there already is one. If yes, please mention the BugID 
when talking about it (as here).


Thanks in advance!



My publisher says I need this option because that is the way to get 
all fonts embedded into the document.  They will not accept a PDF file 
that does not have all fonts embedded.

   That's relative. I've had it and been using it since the day it 
was announced that
   it was available for download. I've not had it crash on me once in 
all this time.

I have never made a bug report before.  How do I do it?

I have tried it at least a half dozen times always with the same 
results.  If I deselect "PDF/A-1a" it exports without crashing.  If I 
select "PDF/A-1a" it crashes during export.


As far as attaching the offending document, it is a master document with 
44 sub documents, a total of 566 pages when fully expanded. Seems that 
would be a lot of files to attach.


Earlier, someone posted a link to a bug report concerning PDF export 
from Print Preview.  I have no idea if this is the same bug or not.

Corel Eight Documents

2013-08-30 Thread Billy Crabtree
When I first downloaded OpenOffice - It would read my old documents written
in the Coral Eight format. Now I cannot get OpenOffice to read these
documents. Any help you can give - I will be grateful. God bless and
thanks.

If I am correct, Corel 8 documents are the old WordPerfect format. For 
copyright reasons support for this format was removed in the more recent 
version(s) of OpenOffice. Individual documents can be converted free of charge 
by an online service at www.zamzar.com; it is in my view worth converting them 
and moving to a open format, (.odt etc) as supported by OpenOffice. 

Note that, wth any format conversion, some reformatting is likely to be needed.

I have found that Libre Office opens my old WordPerfect files.
